ICD-10-CM Code S42.123A
Displaced fracture of acromial process, unspecified shoulder, initial encounter for closed fracture

BILLABLE
Billable Code

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

S42.123A is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of displaced fracture of acromial process, unspecified shoulder, initial encounter for closed fracture. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code S421 is used to code Scapular fracture

A scapular fracture is a fracture of the scapula, the shoulder blade. The scapula is sturdy and located in a protected place, so it rarely breaks. When it does, it is an indication that the individual was subjected to a considerable amount of force and that severe chest trauma may be present. High-speed vehicle accidents are the most common cause. This could be anywhere from a car accident, motorcycle crash, or high speed bicycle crash but falls and blows to the area can also be responsible for the injury. Signs and symptoms are similar to those of other fractures: they include pain, tenderness, and reduced motion of the affected area although symptoms can take a couple of days to appear. Imaging techniques such as X-ray are used to diagnose scapular fracture, but the injury may not be noticed in part because it is so frequently accompanied by other, severe injuries that demand attention. The injuries that usually accompany scapular fracture generally have the greatest impact on the patient's outcome. However, the injury can also occur by itself; when it does, it does not present a significant threat to life. Treatment involves pain control and immobilizing the affected area, and, later, physical therapy.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Closed fracture of acromial process of scapula (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S42.123A and a single ICD9 code, 811.01 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
